You can set yourself on fire (x2)

She said at night in my dreams, you dance on a tightrope of weird
Oh but when I wake up, you're so normal that you just disappear
You're so straight like commuters with briefcases towing the line
There's no residue of a torture inside your eyes

She said you're just like Mike Love
But you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson
She said you're just like Mike Love
But you'll never be Brian Wilson

And I said, hey ay ay hey ay, if crazy equals genius
Hey ay ay hey ay, if crazy equals genius
Then I'm a fucking arsonist, I'm a rocket scientist
Hey ay ay hey ay, if crazy equals genius

You can set yourself on fire
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn
You can set yourself on fire
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn, hey!

She said, "Darlin', you know how the wine plays tricks on my tongue
But you don't seem to change when you stuff all of your feelings with drugs"
Other boys you may have dated, serrated your heart with a slice
But the cut of your love never hurts baby, it's a sweet butter knife

She said you're just like Mike Love
But you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson
She said you're just like Mike Love
But you'll never be Dennis Wilson

And I said, hey ay ay hey ay, if crazy equals genius
Hey ay ay hey ay, if crazy equals genius
Then I'm a fucking arsonist, I'm a rocket scientist
Hey ay ay hey ay, if crazy equals genius

You can set yourself on fire
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn
You can set yourself on fire
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn, hey!

You can set yourself on fire (x4)

And I said, hey ay ay hey ay, if crazy equals genius
Hey ay ay hey ay, if crazy equals genius
Then I'm a fucking arsonist, I'm a rocket scientist
Hey ay ay hey ay, if crazy equals genius

You can set yourself on fire
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn
You can set yourself on fire
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn, hey!
